Blue Horses by Mary Oliver
I don't know about y'all, but I always seem to get inspired to Do Things in the spring. Five years ago in March, I decided to blog about every book I read for a year (and then I kept going!) Last year in May, I decided to finally join the #bookstagram world I had been lurking in (spoiler alert: it was awesome.) This April, I decided to read Mary Oliver's entire body of work in a year!

Blue Horses is the third collection of poetry that I've read as part of The Mary Oliver Project and I absolutely loved it. I've marked up my copy and can't wait to return to it. I was moved by Franz Marc's Blue Horses (from which the collection gets it's title and cover) and cried reading To Be Human Is To Sing Your Own Song, which reminded me of my own fraught relationship with my father. Here are a few other favorites from the collection:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Stebbin's Gulch
-Angels
-What We Want
-Good Morning
-Blueberries
-Such Silence
-Drifting

The Mary Oliver Project update:
Loved: Blue Horses (2014), Dream Work (1986)
Liked: Thirst (2006)
